Re: who would win 1/4?

Who re-opened this thread, it was started two years ago.
1.srt4
2.350z
3.s2000
4.rx 8
this is how it would be in a straight line but on a track or autocross the s2000 and the rx8 would be in front.

Re: who would win 1/4?

350z
srt4
RX-8
s2000

RX-8 needs to be in 2nd gear when starting. pulls away and maintains lead over s2000. the torque from the srt's turbo makes it hard for the rx-8 plus I believe it has what, an extra 12 or so horses? The RX-8 is light but has torque issues. 350z would own by sheer power overtake.

HOWEVER, in a race on a track. You know- real racing? Order would go like this...
RX-8
s2000
most likely 350z
followed by srt 4

Are your serious? second gear. Have you ever driven this car, and if you do own one which I doubt, go ahead and try to launch the car in second gear.
The srt hp numbers are to the wheels and not at the flywheel which most people do not know.

Re: who would win 1/4?

RX-8 USDM has a lot of restrictions on the ecm because the engine pollutes too much and is a noisy engine, the car is amazingly fun to drive because for its stabillity thanks for the DSC (dynamic stabillity control on high power only) and the 50/50 weight balance but is not as fast as the people was specting when they saw it on X Men movie (remember?) even i was excited about it, but when i put the pedal to the metal i went desillusionated, i went thoughtful while i was driving it because i have a Civic making 12.3" in the 1/4 mille, but i decide to turn off the DCS and it was fun to do burn-out and drifting, then i notice that the car is for cruising, very good acceleration but just cruising with it with the sun roof wide open,by the way i work for Ford, sorry i mean Mazda, it is the same S@!*....

Re: who would win 1/4?

Definitly, even a SOHC (well equiped, all motor) will, but RX-8 has a lot of power hidden by the ecm. I have seen RX-8 with exhaust system, Nology wires, ground wiring systems and even with K&N intakes, but it only feels more noise.... If you want to see something interesting go to YOUTUBE and write TYPER VS RX8, then let me know. Adios

Re: who would win 1/4?

there is no way in hell an all motor v6 or anything smaller other than a turbo rotary will beat a FI 4 banger or bigger...so in sayin that srt4, 350z, s2k, rx8...and i own an 8...but if you wanna talk sexiness, the 8 DEFINITELY LOOKS better than all the above...
